The review of the law by the Venice Commission (VC), international institutions, and local NGOs revealed some deficiencies, particularly the proposal that those cases that had been already investigated by NABU should be handled by regular courts and not the new Anticorruption Court. However, subsequent amendments were passed in y to ensure that all cases of corruption will be handled by the new Court. The passage of this amended law is an important step to address corruption in the country. It should pave the way for future co-operation of Ukraine with the IMF and EU. In y, Verhovna Rada passed a Bill on Activation of Bank Lending, which should positively affect state of the country s banking sector. Currently commercial banks were required to have a court decision in order to use a collateral. The old scheme did not provide creditors with the required level of protection. According to the newly passed law all procedures related to forced sale of collateral would be significantly eased and put in line with international standards.

Fiscal Policy The consolidated budget was executed with a surplus for the second consecutive month in. Both state and local budgets were in surplus (UAH 11.4 billion and UAH 3.1 billion respectively). As a result, the consolidated budget was in surplus of UAH 14.6 billion in uary-. As in the previous month, the governement used the surplus to repay loans previously taken to finance budget execution (net repayment totaled UAH 4.9 billion). Also the government pumped out of the economy UAH 8.8 billion of cash and extracted another UAH.8 billion through other instruments of liquidity regulation Dynamics of consolidated budget components (From the beginning of the year) Balance, bln (right scale) Revenues, % yoy (left scale) Expenditures, % yoy (left scale) Consolidated budget revenues were back to growth in Source: The Ministry of Finance of Ukraine, The Bleyzer Foundation. The 4.7% yoy growth was caused by economic factors and some temporary factors. In particular, the statistical base effect from transfer of funds confiscated from Yanukovych in 217 already finished. At the same time, transfer of the 217 NBU s profits was shifted to Q2 with the maximum transfer of UAH 17 billion being executed in. This caused the 115.% yoy increase in nontax revenues. Tax revenues continued to grow at fast although slightly decelerated rate of 27.8% yoy. This growth was ensured by accelerated growth of receipts from corporate profit tax (43.7% yoy) and continued growth of receipts from personal income tax (27.8% yoy). Growth of receipts from the VAT decelerated because of higher reimbursements to exporters but remained high at 18.3% yoy. Receipts from excise taxes returned to growth mainly thanks to increased imports. Growth of the cumulative consolidated budget revenues almost doubled to 14.5% yoy in uary-. Growth of consolidated budget expenditures further accelerated in. The 43.4% yoy growth was the result of expansion in both current and capital expenditures, although the later expanded twice as fast as the former (83.8% yoy against 4.7% yoy). Growth in current expenditures was stimulated by fast growth of expenditures on debt servicing (87.6% yoy). Expenditures on goods and services, on social security, and payroll expenditures also grew at high rates (41.9% yoy, 37.1% yoy, and 3.1% yoy respectively). In uary-, growth of cumulative consolidated budget expenditures further accelerated reaching 26.5% yoy. Payments of the government and the NBU on external debt servicing significantly increased in.

Monetary Policy Inflation. Consumer inflation significantly decelerated in. The all items index decreased from 13.1% yoy to 11.7% yoy mainly thanks to sharp deceleration in growth of foodstuffs prices. Better weather conditions as compared to last year and increases in imports led to a larger supply of foodstuffs limiting growth of their prices. At the same time, pressure on prices on the side of production cost, particularly wages, and on the side of recovering consumer demand remained. Core inflation inched down to 9.3% yoy. Apart from foodstuffs, notable deceleration in growth of prices was observed for alcoholic beverages and tobacco products (by 1.1 percentage points to 19.4% yoy), housing and utilities (by.7 percentage points to 4.9% yoy), and restaurants and hotels (by.7 percentage points to 16.4% yoy). Home appliances was the only major group of goods and services observing notable acceleration in growth of prices (by.5 percentage points to 6.1% yoy). Other major groups of goods and services observed little or no changes in price dynamics in. Banking Sector. Bank deposits posted mixed developments in. National currency deposits grew at an accelerated rate, while foreign currency deposits denominated in USD declined for the second month in a row. Growth of national currency deposits accelerated thanks to faster expansion of corporate deposits (by 11.6% yoy compared to 8.% yoy in il). Bank lending activities improved again in. Growth of the national currency loans accelerated to 16.9% yoy thanks to accelerated increase in household loans (45.2% yoy) and growth of corporate loans (11.6% yoy).

The decline in cash resources together with lower balances at the correspondent accounts of banks led to some monthly decline of the monetary base (by 1.2%) and deceleration in its over-year growth (to 1.6%). At the same time, money supply slightly expanded in (by.5% mom and 1.% yoy). Hryvnia Exchange Rate. The UAH/USD exchange rate was stable during the first half of June.

Overall, the exchange rate depreciated by.8% to around UAH/USD in June. The NBU continued reforming the foreign exchange market in. The regulator simplified the procedures for foreign exchange operations. First, the NBU decreased the number of paper documents needed for a foreign exchange operation for banks (they may save only electronic version of the document and may not print the document for the client on his/her consent). Second, banks and financial institutions are now allowed to conduct foreign exchange operations through chip and pin machines. Third, banks and financial institutions are allowed to prepare reports on foreign exchange operations in the form of electronic document. Also, observing positive results from changes in foreign exchange positions of banks introduced earlier, the regulator decided to equalize them introducing equal limits for long and short foreign exchange positions of banks at 5%.
